Capture of a Whale.

An extraordinary capture was made
at 1Skegness on Sunday. AT about
half-past in the morning Mr.. Storr,
manager of the steamboat company,
who was on the pier-head, saw a
whale about half mile east Of the pier,
and inside of what is known as the
Skegness middle sands. 1T could not
therefore escape without going due
north. 1t attempted to get eastward,
but was prevented by the .sandbank,
and then it turned back to deep water
and made IN the direction Of the shore.
IL doing this the monster came in con-
tact with the landing-stage at the pier
head, struck one of the iron ygirders.
and shook the pier considerably. It
here injured itself in the body, and
disabled ,oaae of it's fins. In addition
to this Mr. SStorr gave it a severe blow
on the head with tow-hook- It.was
now so seriously injured that there
was littlesor no fear of its being able
to escape. Assistance was obtained,
and it Was driven toward the shore,
: and further injured by riae-shots, Of
which five ,or six were fired into it's
body. About. 10 o'clock it wasssufi-
GENTLY disabled to permit of its pur-
,suers approaching it with some degree
of safety, and they soon fastened a
rope around its tail, by means of which
and the aid of. the flowing tide ,they
got it ashore. Life, however, did.not
become extinet,nntI some time after it
was safely landed. 1t is supposed to
be;a Greenland whale and is forty
seven feet long. Its girth is eighteen
feet, the length ,of it's mouth nine feet,
andithe breadthDf it's tail ten feet Eour

.ou have noticed, of course, how peo-
lie look at you when you show them
something somebody has given you.
They are surprised and they envy you.
They always wonder, however, in
themselves, what on earth anybody
could see in you to give you anything
so handsome, unless it is your husband.
Then they smile and wonder what he
has been doing that his conscience
needs rest. But if you'll notice, you'll
find that people who get many presents
have many friends. You may have
many friends and get precious few pres

Size Of Star Clusters.

The absolute Dimensions of globu-
lar star cluster have been studied by
Mr.,I- 3. Gore, afthe Liverpool Astro-
nomicsl Society. These clusters consist
of thousands of minute stars, possibly
moving about common center of
gravity. One Of the most remarkable
of these objects is thirteen Messier,
which Proctor thinks is about equal to
"a frstsma gnitude star. Ret Herschell
estimated that it is made up Of Il, 600
stars. Assuming the fetal mass as
equal to twice the suns, the average
diameter Of each Of these eomponents
must be 45.218 miles, and each star in
this wonderful group may be separated
from The next by a distance Of 1000
million miles!

"She,s the sweetest girl in SCHOOL," en-
Enthusiastically exclaimed one young mss 10
another, as they passed down the street to,
gether. Edith is so kind, and gentle, ana
Snseltsh, every one likes her, And she
has lovely golden hair and pretty eyes;
Isn't it a pity her complexion is SO bad; it
spoils her looks. And then she has such
dreadful headaches " The girls skipped
along, but it happened Edith's mother had
heard what they said. 1t set her thinking.
What could be done for those headaches
and tho rough. muddy complexion, that was
such a trial to her gentle daughter. She
recalled what she had read of DR., Pieree's
Golden Medical Discovery, and on the spur
of the moment she slipped into a drug store
and bought a supply. Faith took 1t faith
fully, with the result that it cleared hel
discrdered blood, relieved the headaches
made her skin soft, fair and rosy, and now
she is not only the sweetest girl in school,,
hut the most beautiful.
